A powerful story of friendship and sacrifice, for fans of CODE NAME VERITY
Missouri, 1849: Samantha dreams of moving back to New York to be a professional
musician—not an easy thing if you’re a girl, and harder still if you’re Chinese. But a
tragic accident dashes any hopes of fulfilling her dream, and instead, leaves her
fearing for her life. With the help of a runaway slave named Annamae, Samantha flees
town for the unknown frontier. But life on the Oregon Trail is unsafe for two girls, so
they disguise themselves as Sammy and Andy, two boys headed for the California gold
rush. Sammy and Andy forge a powerful bond as they each search for a link to their
past, and struggle to avoid any unwanted attention. But when they cross paths with a
band of cowboys, the light-hearted troupe turn out to be unexpected allies. With the
law closing in on them and new setbacks coming each day, the girls quickly learn that
there are not many places to hide on the open trail.
This beautifully written debut is an exciting adventure and heart-wrenching survival
tale. But above all else, it’s a story about perseverance and trust that will restore
your faith in the power of friendship.
